We're still so primitive. For however long the world has been going, imagine it going twice as long, how life would be like. Because it's not really the year 2012. That seems like such a small number. It's amazing that people have been keeping track of that for 2,012 years. How did everyone get on the same page in year 1? There was no communication between continents. I'd have to say that it's gotta be a few days off, at least, if not whole months and years. Not even counting B.C. or before that.
Life is just too weird to describe. Nothing really matters or is worth getting riled up about.
